“Then give yourself to God
and let Jesus be Lord, give the
gift back to Him and see what
happens.”
Heeding his advice, Melanie
laid her plans at the foot of
the cross of Jesus Christ. She
stopped practicing what she
thought He wanted. For the first
time in her life, she repented of
this sin and all the sins she had
ever committed or ever would
commit. She accepted Jesus’
payment for her sins, and she
became His new creation, His
child.
A rather bold decision that
seemed to end in failure led
her to the greatest decision she
would ever make. Without her
rashness, would she ever have
come to the crossroads that led
to eternal life?
Finally, Jesus gave that gift back
to her in a new and holy way,
and she enjoyed many years of
using it for His glory. Later in
life, she taught others and those
others taught others. Her gift
continues to Glorify God and to
bless people.
